Have seen a few posts about this but could not find a definitive answer as to the cost of doing this conversion on an older car - can anyone confirm?

Some post say the bumper needs to come off, some say it does not need to come off and some say the bumper and side wings need to come off redface

Before I contact the stealers can anyone confirm if they have done this and what it entails + cost - many thanks

Does it have an impact on the performance of the car?
Do you see the difference when you are driving?

If both questions are answered with "no", the whole things sounds like a wast of money to me...biggrin

Thanks for your opinion but mine is that the car looks much cleaner and modern from the front with the 5 bar grill smile

I think the bumper and wings need to come off to remove the frame that holds the grille in. I recently painted my DBS grille and managed to remove it without removing the frame, i.e. all i did was take off the front cover. Whether I was supposed to do it this way I dont know! I wrote a thread up on it with picks last week.
